Talk about an update man! Great job The engine bay looks sick, love the color combos. Especially the opening in the cam gear cover. I see you bought that ARC filter set up, very nice!

Your headlights came out sick bro! That black chrome really sets them off nice! Really nice! Not sure how I feel about the led's though, reminds me of them ebay projectors just my opinion. But big fan of your build man, keep setting the bar higher.

 

The stock twins can handle 16PSI no problem. I also have my other setting set for 14PSI which I think I should stick with because currently I'm getting spikes every now and then. Might have to tweak the settings a bit. No plan yet for a big single just yet. I do love the fact that the stock twins boost almost immediately. It is a daily driver and I'm not a big fan of turbo lag. However if I do end up blowing the stock twins I may just go for a big single, but something practical. Nothing overboard like a T88 or anything LOL



I KNOW! I KNOW!! What you're thinking was the first thing I was thinking when I saw it all lit up. The colors don't match. So I have new halos on the way for the fogs.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I get obsessed looking at things and trying to get new ideas from anything I see and try to incorporate it as my own. Its almost like an addiction. And that can be both a good and bad thing. I have a garage just full of small parts I've never used which was a big waste of money. Extra fog lights, stainless lines, fittings, LEDs, projectors and all kinds of s***. Kinda makes me depressed when I think about it LOL.

Ya I went with the black chrome because of the emblems and trunk trim on my car. I was trying to find the JDM Vertex Edition lights as they are OEM black chrome, but not easy to come by or condition. As for the comment, its all good dude. I actually love to hear constructive criticism. The thing I hate about the eBay lights aside from being ugly (just my opinion) is that they are CCFL halos which are extremely outdated. I like the halos in my fogs but would never install into my headlights. I try to find designs and inspiration wherever I can find it, even if its not car related. I originally got the dual strip idea from the new Mercedes E-Class.



I couldn't decide if I wanted to run the strips upwards like the E-Class or along the bottom. But I came to the conclusion that it looks cleaner along the bottom and since the wrap around the sides they would also function well as a turn signal. So that's how that all came into play.

As for all you modders out there. Inspiration is all around you. If you got a dream, chase it. We all gotta start somewhere. All you need is a vision and a push in the right direction. Never take criticism too seriously. Learn from your mistakes, have fun and keep the dream alive.

 

I've seen it without the bracket but I have the holes in it so that's propably what got me confused. I assume then that that is a modified OEM bumper?

Thanks for the front shot, looks awesome!

 

No its a modified aftermarket bumper, but I guess the maker used the same flat spot as OEM

wow that is gorgeous bro!

 

looks amazing bro, very well executed

 

That is one sexy biatch!!!! Very well executed. Love that night shot of the new retros. And that Aristo swap, maaaan. Looks helladope!

 

You sir are VIP. great looking GS. love the night shot

 

your build gives me anxiety because everything you do is amazing

 

Love it man. Just wanted to say two things.

First, the air funnel that mounts atop the radiator is going to make a mess of the engine bay and air filter when you drive around. I stopped running mine because of it. And the blue fittings and oil cooler kinda throw things off to me.

Hope you don't take my comments the wrong way. I really dig your build. It's on a level I'll never see with mine. haha

 

Thanks fellas. I still have a few small things to add there and there, but will keep you guys updated

No worries dude. ALL comments are always welcomed. Like, dislike, hate... all good to me man Ya I'm currently not using the air duct. My GReddy pulleys are blue too so I think it still ties in with everything

 

Awesome job Justin, I love how this car has turned out, excellent build.

 

What paint did you use to make the headlamps black chrome?

 

Thanks man! Hit me up next time you're in the area. We'll go for a cruise. (just don't take off... I wont be able to keep up with your beast LOL)

Dunno. I had the housing painted professionaly by my body man

 

Well, I was on the fence of picking up a GS as a daily but now, I definitely cannot. I'll be forced to do dirty things to it thanks to you. Killer GS man, I just read through this whole thread, what a road you have taken.
